To add to my problems in Creative Cloud CS6 - Acrobat, today everytime I open a pdf it stays open for about 10 seconds and then automatically closes. I have never experienced this before. Is this more of the new & improved version?

This behavior did not start until today although I have been having other issues with the Creative Cloud CS6 and especially how it interacts with Acrobat. I am wondering if they are trying to "fix" the other issues. I have not been asked to update the software though so, unless they can update it automatically that should not be the issue.

So, this thread sounds similar to your problem... these people describe a pdf opening, closing immediately, and after that Acrobat will not run anymore. (May or may not be the same problem you're having). Here is the solution from that thread:

Raghu: Hi Matt .

Raghu: I have received your query. Please allow me a moment to verify your account and to review the details of your request.

Raghu: I understand that you are unable to open Acrobat X on Windows 7.

No this is the OTHER problem I was referring to with Creative Cloud CS6. I spent may hours on the phone with support and Tech help before they told me that it is a known issue. In that case, since for some reason Creative Cloud requires you to activate all the software over and over (approx once a day) when ever it causes Acrobat to stop working you have to close out of everything you are doing and sometimes restart your computer and then re-activate one of the programs to get Acrobat so it will work again.

With that issue Acrobat closes down and you cannot use it again until your do the activation dance. Here you can create the pdf, open it either by clicking to view after opening or by opening Acrobat and opening the pdf from there. The problem is that after it is open it stays open for a few seconds and then fades away taking Acrobat along with it. You can open Acrobat and/or the pdf again but with the same results.
